I Like #198

 This week was filled with some nice things, mostly because my sister and her family came up to see me.  I haven't seen my sister in a long time (for me) even though I saw the kids in early December.  Of course we played lots of board and card games and went for a walk in the park, but mostly we did crafts.

We had a harry potter themed crafting weekend which was super fun.  We started off making house-color themed witches hats.  We ran out of blac peltex so the kids made white ones, but it was super fun digging through all my craft bins to find random doodads to decorate the hats.  

Here is Anna's

My sister made this one for her friend Rebecca who is a ravenclaw

This is Alex's.  He did such a great job stringing all those beads-  it was great to see how well he focused on it.  And I love that he grabbed out one of my old polymer clay beads for the nose.  I made it many years ago when I was making teeth for Seymour and it was so fun to use it for something. I think the yellowish trim below was hand-dyed by Georgia (thanks Georgia!) but I really don't know where most of the other doodads originated.  Just stuff in my studio!

My cousin Kelly made this one,  she's a Hufflepuff.  I love the fluffy batting scrap.  It makes me think of marshmallows and clouds.

Becky made this one for my friend Kristin who's also a Hufflepuff

This is Becky's; she's a Ravenclaw

And here's mine.  I'm also a ravenclaw (but a sparkly one)

They all have hairclips sewn on the bottom, and we managed to get all of them on Becky's head at one point.

The pups had a good time with the kids.  I gave Bentley a bath last night-  he was sad about it but he was getting pretty stinky so we managed to muddle through

The kids also had a good time making fantastic faces on my yarn cones.  I love them!! 

I was so happy to see them, it really made my week.

I hope there have been good things in your week, click over to LeeAnna's to join the fun!
